How are you planning to celebrate spooky season this year? Going to any Halloween events? Do you have favourite spooky films/TV shows to watch at this time of year? Planning on dancing sky-clad in a graveyard? Share it here!

I'm going pumpkin picking/ spooky walks/ to Whitby abbey to see Dracula and I will watch Halloween crap every night from now until mid Nov when I'll switch to Xmas crap.

My house will also be covered in the finest Halloween tat there is available.

I loved Halloween!!

Oh I love the spooky season!

I've already kicked things off this previous weekend with a date to a pumpkin patch - pumpkin spice icecream on a delicious blondie, Halloween music and an adorable pumpkin.

This weekend I'm attending the Leeds Gothica event, a long pumpkin spice bath before it. And drinking at least two pumpkin spice lattes.

I've been trying to watch spooky episodes (Treehouse of Horror and Inside No. 9), films and rereading some horror classics. Decorating will start in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to have floating candles and pumpkins and autumnal garlands and wreaths decorating my home.

Need to book a mini break to somewhere spooky - currently torn between Whitby, York and Northumberland.

It's such a brilliant time of year.

I literally just posted about Whitby goth weekend on my neighbourhood attractions post then saw this!!! It must be fate. I can't do the weekend as I work but I might try and visit during the week.

You are excited! I've been to York a fair few times (brother studying there) but never been to Whitby!

Considering Dracula played a heavy role in a paper, I really should go. Whitby Abbey illuminations look fantastic! And there are some really cute, quirky shops and bookstores I'd love to explore. Let me know any recommendations you have please!

St Albans/ Welsh Borders

Halloween seems to be getting as big as Christmas, I see people putting up Halloween trees and there was a discussion about what people were buying as presents. Ridiculous, but each to their own

I do decorate and dress up to welcome the children who call

I use it to reflect on the year past, give thanks to the summer and welcome the darker nights, I light candles and put pictures up of relatives who have passed away and the kids come round for a big family dinner, usually a roast with seasonal veg... end of that week I always donate to the food bank.

At work we have a huge Halloween party, I don't dress up as such because it can be quite frightening for little ones, I do have a dress with pumpkins all over it and pumpkin tights to wear though

I love Halloween!!

We usually have a big family party for all the kids, pumpkin picking and carving. I love the dark nights, getting all cozy and watching some scary films.

Brilliant! I've never been to Whitby but I really want to (it looks a faff to get there on public transport from Manchester) and this is definitely the best time of year for it.

What kind of Halloween crap will you be watching?

Altogether now - 'It's the most wonderful time of the year'.

I might watch a couple of spooky films and hand out sweets to the kids, there is a Halloween event at a club I'll probably go to as well.

Tomorrow night just after 9 Talking Pictures TV are showing John Carpenter's film adaptation of Stephen King's 'Christine' - a great film about a haunted car. Definitely worth watching!

That's not a speed bump - it's a badly buried body...
